Why Paul Robertson is fundraising for clean water

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.

    Well for some reason the site doesn’t update but we did it. We reached $2000 in 8 days. What does that mean? Well $2000 less in junk floating around for Christmas. Instead you chose to give 66 people clean water and a start to a normal life. Thank you for supporting such a great cause. God bless. Happy holidays.

    Paul,

    My Grandfather's ashes were spread off the tee on Gibraltar many years ago. He revered VGC like Muir did Yosemite.

    I don't know much about agronomy, being a super, or managing equipment and crews, but I do know that your job involves wearing many hats. One of those hats is certainly "curator" of the living museum that is VGC. I doubt there is anyone that could put it on display as well as you.

    The work that you share via Twitter has given me a window into what was My Grandfather's cathedral and I thank you very much for that.
